Try to enable powershell via following steps. Open PowerShell Window, and type the following commands:
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature PowerShell-ISE
For more details see this msdn link.
As far as I know PowerShell ISE is not enabled for WIN server operating systems. Reason: WIN 2012 is designed for headless usage in clouds. Therefore it won't make sense to enable GUI based PowerShell ISE.
I know it's late for the original poster, but it's available to be added as a Feature in the Server Manager. Go to Programs and Features --> Turn Windows features on or off --> Expand Features (in the left pane) --> Add Features (upper right) --> Check the appropriate box in the Add Features Wizard and install.
Note: It's called Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) so it's down in the "W" section and not "P".

What is the difference between [pwsh] and [Powershell Integreted Console] on VS Code?
I usualy use pwsh.
Today, when I installed the powershell extension and then tried to update the powershell, the Powershell Integreted Console started up and found out. What is this?
pwsh[.exe] is the executable file name of PowerShell [Core] (v6+), the cross-platform edition of PowerShell built on .NET Core / .NET 5+; by contrast, powershell.exe is the executable name of the legacy Windows PowerShell edition (v5.1-), built on the Windows-only .NET Framework (v4.8-)
Windows PowerShell comes with Windows itself, whereas PowerShell [Core] must be installed on demand (on all supported platforms).[+]
VSCode (Visual Studio Code) has an integrated terminal (console) that can run any shell, such as cmd.exe, bash, or pwsh or powershell.
Shells that run in the integrated terminal by default have no special integration with the files being edited. They show by their executable file name in the dropdown list in the integrated terminal's toolbar; e.g.:
By contrast, the PowerShell Integrated Console is a special shell that comes with the PowerShell extension and offers integration with PowerShell code being edited, notably to provide linting and debugging support, among other features.
The PowerShell Integrated Console starts on demand when you first open/activate an editor with PowerShell code in a session, and it shows as follows in the integrated terminal's toolbar:
You can use the PowerShell extension's configuration to choose the specific PowerShell executable to use, which on Windows allows you to choose between running PowerShell [Core] (pwsh.exe) and Windows PowerShell (powershell.exe) in the PowerShell Integrated Console.
If a PowerShell [Core] version is installed and it is installed in a well-known location[*], it will be used by default; the fallback on
Windows is Windows PowerShell. Since PowerShell [Core] versions can be installed side by side, you can switch between different versions, if installed.
If a PowerShell [Core] version in installed in a nonstandard location and is therefore not discovered automatically, you can tell the PowerShell extension where to find it, either via the Settings GUI or via settings.json, as shown in the linked topic and the bottom section of this answer.
Whenever the active tab is a PowerShell source-code file, the status bar in the bottom-right corner shows the PowerShell version that is being used if you however over or click on the {} icon; versions >= 6 imply PowerShell [Core].
If configured, there's a separate icon that directly invokes the PowerShell session menu when clicked and which reflects the active version number - again, see the bottom section of this answer; e.g.:
[+] as of v7.0; time will tell if PowerShell [Core] will ship with future versions of Windows, and perhaps even other platforms.
[*] From the linked docs: "This feature looks at a few well-known paths on different operating systems to discover install locations of PowerShell. If you installed PowerShell to a non-typical location, it might not show up initially in the Session Menu. You can extend the session menu by adding your own custom paths." If you use one of the official installers, the PowerShell extension should find your installation.
I have a Windows Universal App that needs to be sideloaded. I am using NSIS with a powershell script to install it. I would like to have the NSIS installer enable app sideloading in the Windows settings. I have already looked at the documentation from Microsoft about enabling app sideloading (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn706236.aspx).
If I run the powershell command from the documentation to set the registry in a standalone powershell window it works fine and I can install the app. However, when I put the registry command inside the installer it doesn't work. I have tried using both Powershell and NSIS to set the registry. Using the WriteRegDWORD command from NSIS and the reg add command from Powershell both say that they succeeded. Reading back the values produces the correct value. If I try to set the registry using Set-ItemProperty in the Powershell script it complains that the path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock doesn't exist.
There doesn't seem to be any way to tell whether sideloading is enabled or not from Powershell. Even outside of the installer context checking the registry is not a valid solution because enabling sideloading via Windows Settings doesn't set the registry.
So my current solution is to try to install the app. If the install fails, check the error message and see if it's complaining about sideloading not being enabled. If that is the case then open up Windows Settings to the developer features page and pop up a message saying that sideloading needs to be enabled in order to continue. Then after Windows Settings is closed reattempt to install the app.
Is it possible to enable sideloading from an NSIS installer? Or is it possible to do a check to see if sideloading is enabled or not?
64-bit versions of Windows have a 64-bit and a 32-bit "version" of the registry, this means that what you see in Regedit might not be the same as what a 32-bit application sees.
Use the SetRegView instruction to change the view used by the installer.
Process Monitor is a useful tool to debug registry issues like this...
I'm trying to change the system locale using a PowerShell script, following instructions at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825705.aspx#PowerShell.
However, I can't load the international module.
I can't seem to find anything by googling.
I'm using Windows 7 SP1 x64 and PowerShell 3.0.
Where can I find this module (on the local system or for download)?
It's a part of Windows 8/Server 2012 only. see the 'Important' box at the beginning of the post
I have Windows 7 at home with Powershell 2 and I really like the free version of the PowerGUI Powershell editor.
I'd like to start using Powershell at work but we are on version 1.o on XP with SP2. I was going to install PowerGui but
it looks like it requires some Core components or maybe even Powershell 2.0. I expect that our XP production servers may not have this version and I think it is safe to stay with 1.0 for now to avoid pushback from the keys with the keys to the production box.
My question is this:
Is there an editor like powerGui that I can use with version 1 where I do not have to install additional Powershell components that may not be present in production?
You can use all of the free and commercial editors on XP:
PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) ships with PowerShell V2
PowerGUI (www.powergui.org) is a great free editor with support for code folding and intellisense, and PowerPacks to make it easy to work with PowerShell by point and click
Idera makes another great editor (PowerShell Plus - www.powershellplus.com) with a strong collection of scripts that ship with it.
DevFarm makes PowerWF and PowerSE (www.powerwf.com), and editor and workflow tool for working with PowerShell
PrimalForms is an editor and tool to make UI in PowerShell, built by Sapien (www.sapien.com)
Hope this Helps
If your question is actual PowerGUI script editor (version 2.4.0) works with PowerShell V1.0. My answer is that I don't think it works. In my understanding you need a version before 2.0 . I'am using PowerGUI 1.9.5.966 which works perfectly with PowerShel V1.0.
Having failed to get PowerGUI to work properly I've fallen back on PowerShell ISE. However if I run this as Administrator it won't let me set any breakpoints.
If I launch as normal (my login is a member of Administrators) all is well but because I need to script some tasks that require full administrator rights this is no good.
I have saved the script as a proper file (i.e. it's not "untitled1.ps1") but no joy.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.
Strangely this doesn't seem to be a problem on my Windows 2008 R2 dev box (I'm logging in as user that is a member of Administrators then running PS ISE "As Administrator" and breakpoints are set and hit.
Any ideas why this would be?
I also faced the same issue, saving the file to a physical location enabled all debugging capabilities.
It looks like there's a problem with PowerShell and square brackets in folder and filenames.
Both PowerGUI and PowerShell ISE won't hit breakpoint if the script being debugged resides in a folder with [ or ] in the name.
I notice you're running x64. Is there any chance that you're running x64 ISE but have only set the execution policy away from restricted on x86 (or vice-versa).
I am using Visual Studio Code and in my case, I was missing the powershell extension.
Was facing the same issue because I had used other editor to make changes to the ps1 file. After opening the file with PowerShell ISE and clicking "Save" solved the issue for me.
